Good News for Bristol Security Guard Attacked By Machete

0

When armed robbers slashed a security guard’s arm with a machete in Bristol recently, they expected to make off with the heavy box of cash he was carrying. And in fact to a point, they did! But according to this report by the Bristol Post they were snapped shortly after on a witness’s camera phone… being driven away from the scene by one of the robber’s heavily pregnant girlfriend.

Brave Bristol Security Guard Puts Up a Fight

Mark Badman and Scott Davenport – who are now going through court proceedings after being identified to the police – decided recently to target the cash box of Bristol security guard Shaun Bush, who was protecting the money as he transferred it to the Tesco Express store in Stoke Gifford.
However, Mr Bush was not a Bristol security guard to give up easily – he even took a punch to the face without giving the box of ash away. In fact, after being pushed to the ground still holding tightly to the cash he had been hired to protect, it was only a slash to his left arm with a large sharp knife that caused him to release his grip.
Many people are singing Mr Bush as a hero, although it understandably worried his wife, reports the article.

Heavily Pregnant Getaway Driver

Once in their van, the robbers were whisked away by one of their girlfriends who happened to be heavily pregnant, reports the article.
It goes on to say though, that as they were making their escape after their fight with the brave Bristol security guard, a witness in a van snapped their pictures and caught the registration plate of the getaway vehicle which, ultimately, led to their identification being worked out by police, and their subsequent arrest.

“I Didn’t Know a Machete Would Be Involved” Pleads Robber in Court

Perhaps one of the more interesting parts of the story, is that Mr Badman – the criminal who punched the Bristol security guard when he refused to give up the cash – claimed to know nothing of the machete, and only took part in the crime not realising the machete would be involved.
He stated his actions were the actions of a foolish desperate man who wanted to start a family with his girlfriend, states the article.
Court proceedings surrounding the case continue to unfold, but the judge presiding the trial has awarded the brave Bristol security guard a £250 payout for displaying bravery and helping to bring this pair of criminals to justice.
